A user in the Swedish Homey group suggested that a Beacon simulator app might work (but it doesn’t). Any idea why [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.alea.beaconsimulator](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.alea.beaconsimulator) isn’t working? ---

Is the beacon that is generated publicly discoverable? Then it might be. ---
